Are you building on Win2k3? If so, make sure you have the latest Windows Installer installed. There was a bug in the SAFER policy that prevented validation from working correction on Win2k3 with just this sort of error. If you're not on Win2k3, umm, I'll have to think some more. -Original M

Re: [WiX-users] Quick question on upgrade checking

So we have an upgrade table entry that will upgrade versions from 1.0.0 (including 1.0.0) up to (but not including) 2.0.0.0, and it won't detect all languages in case that's an issue. Is that what you're looking for? Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: Jeff MacDuff [mailto:[EMAIL PR

Re: [WiX-users] WIX 3.0: Creating IIS virtual directories

I found that if you set your culture to en-US and suppress schema validation for light these errors will go away. Of course you lose schema validation, etc., but at least my old Wix2 stuff I just converted to Wix3 will build.     -Matt         Brad Davis Fri, 18 Aug 2006 14:2

It's Wix3. I've have tried the properties suppression in the compiler and I have even gone so far as trying to add the tfsservice account to the local admin group and the error is still thrown. This is starting to confuse me a bit *chuckles* -Ed >From: "Matthew Janulewicz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED

Re: [WiX-users] Light 0216 Error and TFS

Are you using Wix2 or Wix3? I can only speak for Wix3. If you open the project in the IDE, right click and get the properties, you will see an 'advanced' button on the linker tab. Once that opens there is a 'suppressions' tab where you can check that one (or any one) off. I would imagine that if y

UpgradeVersion has Minimum and Maximum strings that specify the range of product versions that you want to look for and upgrade (IncludeMaximum and IncludeMinimum are involved too). If you don't specify these values I don't know what Wix puts in the VersionMin and VersionMax fields in the MSI's up

If you're writing regular COM components in C++, you should manually edit the .wxs to maintain it. You know what is being created, you should replicate it. Reverse-engineering is fragile. Heat is intended for one-off use to generate an initial template .wxs file. You can use the Class table to tak
